[Intro]
 C

[Verse 1]
      C
For a second I almost forgot
         G
 all the wreckage,
this hole full of hurt where
     Am
my chest is I felt like
             F
 a person again.
      C
For a minute I almost
              G
got lost in existence,
the birds sang their song and
   Am
 I listened, there wasn't
                 F
a thought in my head.
       C/E  F  G
But it ne  -  ver lasts,
        C/E  F    Gsus4     G
I just fall  right back.

[Chorus]
                F
It's hard to be human,
                     C
don't know what I'm doing
half the time, 'cause
    G
I'm only a man with a pen in
                Am
 his hand and a couple
 of stories to write.
                F
It's hard to be human,
              C
wish I had a blueprint for life,
'cause
    G
I'm only a dot on this old
                        Am
 spinning rock, I guess I'm
just along for the ride.
                F      G
It's hard to be human,
                          C
it's hard to be human sometimes.

[Verse 2]
        C
Someone stop me from pouring
           G
my fourth cup of coffee,
                              Am
I'm shaking, my heart's going off
 beat but at least
                  F
I can get out of bed.
        C
Someone tell me that six hours
                   G
 of screen time is healthy,
                             Am
that it's okay as long as it helps

But it ne  -  ver lasts,
        C/E   F     Gsus4     G
 I just fall right back.

[End-Chorus]
                F
It's hard to be human, don't know
          C
 what I'm doing half the
 time, 'cause
    G
I'm only a man with a pen in his hand
       Am
 and a couple of stories to write.
                F
It's hard to be human,

         Am
 I guess I'm just along for the ride.
                F      G
It's hard to be human,
it's hard to be human sometimes.
